The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

However, Jiang Fan had learned some history from his previous life. If he surrounded the Japanese pirates without attacking them, they might really persist for a long time, which he could not afford.

Moreover, if the Japanese pirates were reckless and boarded the ship again while they were fighting the reinforcements, the rear would be threatened.

Although Jiang Fan did not take the Japanese pirates' warships seriously, who knew what kind of trouble the Japanese pirates would cause him if they acted recklessly?

The best way now is, of course, to eliminate all the enemies on Wutuo Island. If it were a fierce battle between Chouguo and Jiaobenji on an island in the previous life, such an island landing operation might result in heavy losses.

But that was a war based on the era of hot weapons. In a war like the one in the era of cold weapons, the army he had was invincible. It would be easy for him to capture an island.

The Lu brothers and sisters had never seen their army fight, so they made such a choice.

"Your idea is right, but... we can't afford to waste time, and it's not difficult for my soldiers to capture this island!" Jiang Fan smiled and shook his head at them.

The two siblings were slightly stunned when they heard this. They looked at Jiang Fan with worry in their eyes. After all, they didn't know the situation on the island. If they were ambushed by the enemy after entering, they would most likely be defeated.

But the two siblings did not dare to refute Jiang Fan casually. They had already explained the situation on the island. If Jiang Fan still wanted to attack, he could only leave it to fate.

However, Lu Zhaoyun still reminded him, "Your Highness, if we are going to fight on the island, it is best to advance slowly, with the front and rear armies taking care of each other to avoid an ambush and a situation where we cannot rescue in time!"

Jiang Fan heard this and nodded with a smile.

Then, the army began to rush towards the dock of Wutuo Island. When approaching Wutuo Island, more than a hundred warships slowly approached the warships parked nearby.

Some of the warships were close to the beach. These warships were small and could be driven directly to the beach to stop. The troops on the warships began to disembark.

After several months of sea training, most of these soldiers drawn from various places no longer suffer from seasickness. Although a small number of people still suffer from seasickness, they are not so sick that they cannot move.

After all, their physical fitness is extremely high and they have almost gotten used to it in a few months.

They were elite soldiers trained by Jiang Fan, all equipped with rifles, grenades, revolvers, and swords. There was also an assault rifle battalion of 500 people.

Even each company was equipped with two mountain cannons, and such equipment could sweep away all enemies.

The soldiers on the small warships got off the warships and walked along the beach towards the shore, while the medium and large warships docked near the warships of the Japanese pirates.

They went ashore from the Japanese pirates' warships, and when they passed by the pirates' warships, they would send people to the warships to check.

There was not a single Japanese pirate to be seen on the warships on the entire dock. After Fujiwara no Kiyomi and Inoue Yan gave the order, they all fled from the warships.

Maybe they saw the fate of the warship that rushed out, and they knew that once they were on the warship and waited for the warship to sink, they would have no way out, so they all ran away!

Nearly 10,000 infantry soldiers on more than 100 warships were sent to the shore, while the sailors on the warships remained on the ships.

Jiang Fan brought these 10,000 people out not to take them out for a stroll, but to attack the island. As for the more than 40 warships parked at the dock by the Japanese pirates, they were all occupied by them.

More than a dozen warships of the two pirates who escaped were sunk, and the rest fled in the direction of the Chongming pirates. However, Jiang Fan had already sent four giant warships to chase them.

Even if we cannot completely destroy the two pirate warships, we can still drive them homeless.

Brother and sister Lu Wentian and Lu Zhaoyun looked at the Yan army soldiers who had landed, their eyes still filled with worry. They opened their mouths several times, wanting to stop Jiang Fan from attacking Wutuo Island, but they swallowed the words back when they reached their lips.

Soon, the army advanced towards Wutuo Island in four directions. Just when the central army had advanced less than three miles, countless arrows suddenly flew from the front.

The shield soldiers advancing in front immediately held up their shields and blocked everyone behind them. Jiang Fan knew that after attacking the island, the only threat to his army would be arrows.

Therefore, he had made preparations in advance, and arranged 300 shield-bearing soldiers in front of each advancing team to ensure the safety of the entire army.

Seeing the Yan army soldiers being blocked, Lu Wentian and Lu Zhaoyun became a little nervous. They also guessed that the other side would use arrows. If they didn't deal with it well, there might be a large number of casualties on their side.

Seeing the Yan army being suppressed by arrows, the two siblings became more worried. However, they were still very satisfied with the Yan army's response.

Just when they thought that the Yan army might be suppressed by the arrows and forced to retreat, they heard a series of bang...bang sounds. Then, he saw archers appearing on the opposite hillside, one by one with blood splattering on their brows, and then fell down.

In less than a quarter of an hour, most of the hundreds of archers who were blocking the way were killed, and the remaining archers did not dare to show their heads.

Even if there were some who wanted to show their heads, they would be shot in the head before they could draw their bows and shoot arrows. This situation made Lu Wentian and Lu Zhaoyun look shocked.

They looked at Jiang Fan in shock, then at the group of soldiers, with disbelief in their eyes.

Only then did they understand why Jiang Fan was so confident. With that terrifying killing weapon in his hand, he could sweep all the way.

Only then did they remember what happened in the meeting hall of the Chongming thieves. At that time, they thought that Jiang Fan should not have many such killing weapons in his hands.

After all, having dozens or even hundreds of such powerful weapons is already quite terrifying, but who would have thought that Jiang Fan's soldiers each had one.

With such weapons, the island in front of us can be easily conquered.

Not only Lu Wentian and Lu Zhaoyun were shocked, but the Japanese pirates on the other side were also horrified. Fujiwara Noriha and Inoue Yan, who were hiding in the dark not far away and observing the battle situation, were also terrified.

Originally, they thought that if they ambushed archers in front, as long as they ambushed them all the way, even if the Yan army could break through several lines of defense, they would definitely suffer heavy casualties under the attack of the archers.

Even if the defense line was composed of the first-class archers, if the Yan army wanted to pass through, it would definitely cost thousands or even tens of thousands of people.

But who would have thought that the archers on their side had just shown their power and had not yet caused any harm to the enemy, but they were all killed in the blink of an eye. How could such a war be fought, a one-sided massacre!
